Heh...  It feels like I'm saying "sorry" four times a year to you, @maxwasson.  Well, except for February.  Also, in adding the new Clippers logo (and then realizing the new stuff isn't until next year, I switched everything from white to red.  Lemme know it you prefer the white.

Cool idea, I'm sure my signature could use some sprucing up.

 

Well, if you find what you like, go for it.  If you want championship banners, lemme know the list and I'll hook you up.  If you want a "Where I Come From" that doesn't exist yet, lemme know.

Hello @Silent Wind of Doom, I'm relatively new here and still need a signature and these have definitely caught my eye. I'd kindly request. Some conventional picks, plus some departed teams I liked and a little bit of national team success too. 

 

Buccaneers: 2 Super Bowls + 2 NFC titles

Lightning: 3 Stanley Cups + 5 Prince of Wales' Trophies + the 2019 Presidents Trophy

Rays: 2 Pennants (2008 + 2020)

Magic: 2 Eastern Conference Titles

Gators: 3 Football National Championships, 2 Basketball National Championships, and the 2017 Baseball Championship

Rowdies: 1975 NASL Championship, 2012 NASL 2.0 Championship, and something for being finalists in 1978, 1979, 2020 and 2021. 

Tampa Bay Mutiny: 1996 Supporters Shield

Tampa Bay Storm: 5 Arena Bowls

USMNT: 7 Gold Cups

USWNT: 4 World Cups + 4 Olympic Gold Medals

USA Men's Hockey: 2 Olympic Gold Medals + 1996 WCOH

USA Women's Hockey: 2 Olympic Gold Medals

Hey, @SavardToColton!  I assumed when I got a notification that it was a happy Panthers fan, not someone from across the state.  But here you go.  Sorry it took so long, but I just started a new job and I've been busy.

EDIT: Whoops!  And I just remembered that I told myself I'd go back and draw the original NASL trophy (which I was shocked to find nobody's ever requested before) and forgot since I've been returning to this over several days.

@Silent Wind of Doom One tiny technical question: what's the website you use to get the hex codes for all the historical colors for each team? I assumed you use trucolor.net, but I've found some examples where the colors didn't exactly line up with that website.

Hmm...  Everything is a hodgepodge of stuff I've had and redone over the years since, in order to make it really quick to do this I've made every award won by every team in every major sport.  Originally the MLB logos were taken off the caps from my Wikipedia uniform images.  About when I went back to change those images to take the colors from what was then Colorwerx (previously I'd just eyedropped logos or photos), I did the same for these.

 

However, that site doesn't always have information before the 90's in a lot of sports, so sometimes I've got to eyedrop old logos or photographs.  Ancient college banners are the ones where that happens the most.  Also, since the background and year colors are supposed to represent the team's colors and those are often more centered around the uniform than the logo, there are times when there's a difference because the uniform hex doesn't match.  Honestly, that probably is a thing for the uniform stuff I do, but I don't have an in to get the hex codes for the different uniform fabrics/finishes.

 

This actually just recently came to pass due to the Knights winning the Stanley Cup last year.  They primarily wore their bright gold uniforms, but given it was a metallic color, the swatch was much darker than the uniform ever was to the eyes and I just eyedropped a photo.

 

But usually if there's been a rebrand I'll go back to the site for the colors and if a team hasn't made the playoffs in a while and show back up, I'll check against the information there to see if they've made a color change in-between.  So they're largely taken by screenshotting the page and pasting it into paint to eyedrop the swatches for these.  When the site was changed to disallow copying/saving the swatches, it definitely made things harder.  😢

 

I assume you're talking about the championship ones.  I don't have a program that recolors images using hex codes, so that's all done by eye.
